About CarePay

CarePay is a data-driven social enterprise with offices in Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, and the Netherlands. We are working with health insurances, governments, donors, and a network of over 3.000 healthcare providers to “Give Everyone the Power to Care” through a transparent digital payment platform. In Kenya, we already enrolled over four million people with our M-TIBA platform, and in Nigeria we are scaling up a universal health coverage proposition with the largest state. We’ve gained international recognition with the 2018 Technology Pioneer award by the World Economic Forum, a $45 million Series-A funding round in 2019 and have been selected as one of the pioneering use cases on Europe’s GAIA-X cloud platform in 2020.

We are a team of data analysts, engineers, and data scientists aiming to generate value from data at CarePay. That includes setting up a data warehouse with a data pipeline based on AWS, Singer, Airflow, and Snowflake, automatically monitoring data quality, offering self-service analytics with the BI tool Metabase, building data dashboards for healthcare stakeholders, and building DS and ML services in python to automate manual processes such as claims management. We prioritize social impact over cutting-edge methods, strive to work with open source software, and are always eager to experiment with new ideas. Our team works in Amsterdam, Kenya and on Zoom.
